Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

atomic mass of weapons-grade uranium, assuming the percentages are exact?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

Would an opah fish be better suited to live in cold water or warm water? explain why
Kaylis [27]

Don't blame me if you get it wrong i'm a dumb but yet successful student

Warm blood gives deep-sea fish a boost, according to Wegner. The opah's muscles and nervous system likely function faster than an equivalent fish with cold blood. ... This fish, the southern opah, lives in colder waters than the northern opah, so it would be harder to keep warm, Wegner said — but even more beneficial.

When a nonmetal oxide reacts with water, it forms an oxoacid with the same oxidation number as the nonmetal. Give the name and f

Addition of chlorine to water gives both hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO)

What are Transition metal oxides ?

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are another class of nanomaterials, frequently used as anode in alkaline batteries due to their distinctive properties such as abundant active sites, short diffusion pathways, low preparation cost, high theoretical capacity and distinct reaction mechanism.

Cl2 + H2O ⇌ HClO + HCl

Cl2 + 4 OH− ⇌ 2 ClO− + 2 H2O + 2 e−

Cl2 + 2 e− ⇌ 2 Cl−

The acid can also be prepared by dissolving dichlorine monoxide in water; under standard aqueous conditions, anhydrous hypochlorous acid is currently impossible to prepare due to the readily reversible equilibrium between it and its anhydride.

2 HClO ⇌ Cl2O + H2O      K (at 0 °C) = 3.55×10−3 dm3 mol−1

The presence of light or transition metal oxides of copper, nickel, or cobalt accelerates the exothermic decomposition into hydrochloric acid and oxygen

2 Cl2 + 2 H2O → 4 HCl + O2
